You're just mad that I can look at pictures on my MAC and not run a high risk of viruses. ;)

I haven't had a virus....  um...  ever, really.  Security through obscurity is all the Mac platform has.  Almost every time there is a major hacking convention, Macs are the first to fall.  I even recall a recent article where one hacker said that hacking OS X was "fun" whereas hacking Vista was "hard work."

But even ignoring technical arguments, the security of a computer always boils down to the user.  If you can't surf pictures on a PC without catching something, then by all means spend a couple grand on a Mac to "protect" yourself.
